The feels
“It’s over. I’m sorry it has to be this way, but it’s the best I can do for you. Belonging to that team of losers won’t do you any favor.
Can you feel it?… The hate blooming in your heart. Poisoning every inch of your soul. You’re the same as me… And I’m sure we can do great things together. We can… Change the rules of the game. You won’t be alone anymore. Don’t try to scape from me… Don’t even think to make me your enemy. Because I can make you wish we never met at all.”
Au where Afuro is forced to join the Dark Emperors and become Kazemaru’s precious treasure.
Anyway one of the reasons I’m so mad about Order 66 is the fact that a happy ending would have meant that Clone Culture and Jedi Culture would mix because they basically adopted each other and it would have been beautiful
Jedi are peacekeepers and they are more than happy to return to their role but war still haunts them and leaves its marks. Many are happy to get rid of their armor, others not so much
Padawans who survived and grow into Knights who keep parts of their armor, painted in the color of their battalion
New Padawans who pick up an armor and paint it in colors meaningful to them after their first mission! Imagine excited kids coming back going “Look! My armor has its first scratch!!!” And a clone being so happy for this tiny Shinie
Which also: Language. Okay. So much slang becoming casual in the temple but also Mando’a. Shinie and Padawan becoming pretty synonymous after a few years.
And like, going on missions without clones just feels kinda weird at this point. And they just attach themselves to their Jedi for missions because sure, we’re not fighting A War™️ anymore but Skywalker and Kenobi are still Skywalker-and-Kenobi and We Know Better
Also Force-sensitive clones because canon robbed us of that. Which starts the whole age debate. And then somebody (Anakin who is busy being a Dad and also a Master bc he deserved it after defeating Sidious) goes “I mean. The oldest are actually only 15 and also we should listen to the Force”
And the Council is already so tired, Skywalker has been taking his adorable super strong kids to meetings basically everyday, Plo Koon legally adopted the Wolfpack as soon as Clones were recognized as citizens of the Republic (he had the adoption papers on his person so he could make use of them ASAP) might as well change the code
So Clone Padawans!!! And later Knights!!!! And they’re so proud of it.
On the other hand, a lot of clones adapt Jedi practices! Learn their code to make it through the memories of war because bred soldier or not - it leaves scars
They meditate! Some of them might even actually kinda know how to handle a lightsaber because their Jedi keep losing theirs
They first get Jedi tunics because that’s just what they have at the temple and when you need to supply a lot is people with casual clothes, that’s a good start. Some clones branch out, others don’t. They’re comfortable and the whole cape/robe drop is badass
Tattoos! Not really a thing for the Jedi as a culture before, but they become more and more popular so that Masters legit have to make sure their underaged Padawans won’t get any.
Sharing last names! Like, objectively, them optioning for going by “Fett” is funny for so many reasons, most of them related to Boba having to sit through various “No, not that Fett” talks but also! Jedi offering up their last names! Plo already adopted his batch but I bet Cody introduces himself as “Kenobi” and Obi-Wan doesn’t even blink like “It suits you, Commander”.
Also Ahsoka and Rex coming home because we deserve that and Ahsoka and Anakin nearly throwing hands about Who Gets To Give Rex Their Last Name. (RIP to them because Padmé was quicker and Rex Amidala sounds ten times as cool)
Tiny younglings!!! Being so honored when they can share a name with a Clone. Imagine a small little Twi’lek Initiate being HYPED when a Commander accepts her name. A hero! Thinking you’re very brave!
The Senate maybe goes “but the clones don’t belong to you-“ at the start but are shut up very quickly.
Just give me the Clones and Jedi in the aftermath of the war living together peacefully.
So I am not the biggest fan of those ten page character sheets that include 100 questions like “What’s their favourite ice cream?”. Don’t get me wrong: If those help you with your writing, more power to you! Do what works for you. But I tend to discover all the little details of a character while writing. I only need the fundamental things. Maybe this works for you too!
The Basics
Name: including all nicknames, titles, etc.
Gender
Age
Role in the Narrative
Physical Description: focus on defining features

That’s it! Hope this gave you some pointers on how to start out with character creation.
Have fun writing!

Just some random idea that was asking me to draw itself very hard… the caption for it in my folder was simply “gay” gjdg
Force Translator Cody au
Hes still as force sensitive as a brick but hes been around so many jedi, Specifically Obi-wan "i have a bad feeling" Kenobi that he just, figures out what the Force is tryin to say with his cool collected strategic slut mind on his own
In short, Cody voice: the Force works in misterious ways to YOU, i get it tho
now here i am, thinking about the force talking to cody's cool collected strategic slut mind like it's the australien sea turtle in finding nemo
cody's not force-sensitive. like NOT AT ALL, not even one (1) midichlorian per million. zip nada nothing
he just meditates with obi-wan on a regular basis and ends up absorbing some force radiation that basically makes him a radio station that can tune into the force's daily commentary
it all starts on a mission where cody and obi-wan enter a really creepy cave and it's just really creepy and dark and suddenly there's this off-voice telling cody that the vibes are rancid
obi-wan then proceeds to say that the vibes feel rancid
and cody just looks at obi-wan like ??? uhm hello what the fuck and obi-wan doesn't have a single idea why his commander suddenly looks like a confused pineapple
meanwhile the force is going feral because this funky little commander apparently has the right receiving frequency to hear its ramblings while all the jedi in fact do NOT
everyone only feels the force. no one ever talks to the force. the force is bored. so of course it doesn't intend to leave cody alone e v e r
obi-wan, to cody, smiling: remember, the force will be with you. always
cody, who already listened to the force rambling about the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise for the past two hours, eye twitching:
anakin looks all mysterious and knowing while saying that there's a disturbance in the force and cody just stands right next to him, hearing the high-pitched fire siren-like screaming of the force in the background while trying to look like his eardrum didn't just get perforated
whenever cody notices that obi-wan and the other jedi aren't sleeping well because of some weird force shit, cody asks the force to keep it down for a while so that they can at least rest for a couple of hours. obi-wan is confused about the amount of sleep he gets all of the sudden
anakin wakes up and says he just had a vision. cody asks the force if anakin, in fact, just had a vision. the force says no
ahsoka, after something very weird happened: the force works in mysterious ways
the force, to cody, very disturbed: that wasn't me
everyone basically talks about the force as this ancient powerful energy field in a very earnest and serious way while cody passes the senate building and hears the force calling palpatine a nasty little apricot
Top 3 Random KDFD facts that I absolutely love:
Remember how in the original series Fudou would steal the ball from Kidou, making him fall to wake him up from his Kage-induced-trance? Well in the game he doesn’t do that. In the game he goes up to Kidou and SLAPS the Hell out of him. One. Single. Powerful. Slap. To Kidou Yuuto, the Absolute Leader of the pitch, the genius playmaker. Right in front of EVERYONE! And that’s so much more powerful than stealing his ball, it shows a deeper, more intimate and direct connection between them, because you don’t go slap a stranger or someone that you don’t care about, even if they’re annoying. Also, I love how he just doesn’t care about who Kidou is, he needs to get his shit together and he will slap him into it.
In Ares they both have the number 19. And yes, I know I tend to read too much into stuff but listen, let a girl dream ok? Anyway, the 19 is divisible only by number 1 and itself, it’s made from the first and last single-digit numbers and that makes the 19 a number of completion, a number of beginning (1) and end (9). In the number’s symbolism number 19 is an auspicious number being associated with success and honor. This number is filled with joy and happiness. ALSO, the tarot card number 19 is The Sun. This card, when upright, represent a time when you can finally see the path ahead of you and through the hardship you have endured, you have attained a new level of insight and understanding. The Sun reversed indicates that finding the positive aspects to a particular situation may prove to be difficult. Your direction and path ahead may have become clouded or distorted in some way. Nonetheless, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only temporary. The obstacles you see can be easily removed if you put your mind to it. And honestly? This sounds a lot like them to me, with all the troubles they have to go through and their hard-working souls, always striving to be better.
This one is my absolute favourite that I kept for last! Fudou’s voice actor once said, while talking about Fudou, “I want him (Fudou) to breathe life into Kidou whenever he loses his way”. Let it sink. This is just…so goddamn beautiful and…and I don’t even know, it sums up their relationship so well? And it’s tied to point one of this mini list yes, but also to every other time Fudou pushed Kidou to surpass his limits and just snap out of his self-doubts? Gods I love this quote so much and to think that the actual voice actor said it is!!!! AMAZING! But you know what’s even MORE amazing? You guessed it: read more into it! So, “breathe life” in a more scientific key can be translated into breathing oxygen into someone’s lungs to bring it back to life. And do you know what’s the atomic number of Oxygen in chemistry? The number 8. Fudou, breathing life so oxygen, Fudou having the number 8 on his shirt, EVERYTHING FITS LEVEL5 I KNOW WHAT YOU DID THERE!
And this is it, sorry I just wanted to share a bit of what I love the most about my dear OTP (that from now on I’ll tag also as 8O like in 8atomic number of Oxygen, because I always give dumb tags to everything)
(also I’m tagging @ygreczed bc FINALLY I did that thing about their new shirt numbers yay!)
